Duplicate Files...How can I find them all?

I have many duplicate files. How can I locate them all so I can organize them (delete the ones I don't need)? Is there a program that will do this?

kyrospeare,
How did you figure out that you have duplicate files?
What/where are they?
You will inevitably be the best judge of what files are duplicates. Although there are applications such as Spring Cleaning 8.0 the reviews are not flattering. Although I have not used it, I have heard that in the hands of an inexperienced user it can create havoc.

HT1399 my itunes library is stored as .aac files how can i convert them all together to mp3

my itunes library is stored as .aac files how can i convert them all together to mp3

Thanks for the quick response. I didn't think of that. I just tried several songs, and it DOES work as you say. Except iTunes downloaded the identical 128 kbps protected files again. These are 90's - "10,000 Maniacs" tracks.
So does this mean Apple doesn't have my "10,000 Maniacs" high bit rate unprotected files available? Then why would anyone even buy any songs through the "iTunes" store, when Amazon sells only 256 kbps MPEG music files, at a little cheaper price than Apple?
I'm missing something. The tracks I want to upgrade are available at Amazon in the higher bit rate format. Maybe iTunes is annoyed at me for using "Windows" on a PC and an "Android" phone?
Thanks again.

Do you still have your old version of Photoshop loaded? You need to open that, and save your actions so that you can open them in 2014.

If you have been regularly syncing/backing up your iPhone with iTunes or iCloud, you may try restoring it from the last backup.
Read how to restore from a backup.

Make sure to turn OFF automatic syncing in iTunes before connecting your iPhone.
Preferences - devices - "check" prevent iPhone/iPod from automatic syncing

After downloading iOS 7 on my 4S I show 8,976 on my email icon. How can I eliminate them all without going one at a time?

Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.

I just exported some music from Amazon to iTunes but now I can't find my original iTunes music. How can I find them?

I just exported some music from Amazon to iTunes but now I can't find my original iTunes music. How can I find them?

I did this by going into the folder where the Amazon MP3's were and copied the link into iTunes under the add file link in the menu. This music was purchased before I had an iTunes account so I wasn't aware that they could've been automatically exported. I still have the iTunes MP3s on my iPhone. Could I sync them over or something to that extent because I can't find the files at all even when doing a system search.

I have photos I want to group together in one album, but can't do this because some may have the same number. How can I combine them all into one album?

I have photos I want to group together in one album, but can't do this because some may have the same number. How can I combine them all into one album? I was trying to move several albums onto a USB drive and it stated all other files exist at this location. They are pictures taken at different times and have the same number I guess.

In iPhoto albums may contain photos with the same file name - iPhoto handles that just fine
If you are exporting them to move somewhere else use the sequential file name feature of export to give each file a unique name

I have Apple TV hooked up. I went to computer, photos, events. Only 8 of my events show up and it will not scroll to view others. How can I get them all to appear on screen for viewing.

HT203167 Cloud has appeared on my laptop although I am not aware of having downloaded it; as a result only the items I have purchased appear in my library and I cannot access the hundreds of songs I have imported from my own CDs. How can I find them?

Type move itunes library into the google serach bar.
It has always been very basic to always maintain abackup copy of your computer. Do you not have a backup copy?

Okay so i recorded a song but each part comes out as like take 1, i have 10 takes. how can i put them all together as one take, to make one song all in one take not small pieces of a song.

You're not very clear in stating your problem. Maybe it's terminology: "takes" in recording lingo (and in GB lingo) are different version of exactly the same part in a song, so you only want one of them in the end. Please tell us exactly what you did and what it is that you don't like.

I was adding something to one of my notes when half of my notes disappeared, how can I find them again, they are not even in my iCloud?

HT204053 My ipad stores my documents on iCloud. How can I find them from a different computer, as I used to do by using a memory stick on my old PC etc ?

My ipad stores my documents in iCloud. How can I find them from a different computer? I used to use a memory stick and could work on my documents on any computer and want to have a replacement system using documents created on my ipad - I can't use a memory stick with it.

How do you know that they are on iCloud, the iPad can (and does) save locally. If they are on iCloud they will be accessible via the application that created them (Pages, Numbers etc) and can be reached from any computer with iCloud access by logging to iCloud.com. But you did that and stated that they are not there, so what makes you think that they are?

I have installed the latest version of iOS in my ipad but forgot to backup the content, what should i do!!! I don't want my media and other data erased, how can i find back all the data in my ipad? I haven't restore ipad yet, so any others way can be use?

Once you are in Recovery Mode, it's too late to do any backup. I am afraid you are going to lose your data.

I lost some photos when updating my OS, how can I find them

I lost some photos when updating my OS, how can I find them. I have already tried to restore through my PC but the photos are still not there. Any thoughts?

If you haven't backup up your phone, then your photos are gone.
In addition you should import your photos to your PC, just like a ditigal camera, as a secondary backup in case you lose your pics you could always sync it back using Itunes.
